Fuel Fillter Replacement Not on 2003-05
On many vehicles, the fuel filter is non-serviceable (see table). The filter is an integral part of the fuel pump module and fuel pressure regulator assembly. The filter can be serviced only by replacement of the fuel module assembly. This process requires the removal of the fuel tank (one to two hours of labor, depending on the model), plus several hundred dollars in unnecessary parts.
The vehicle owner’s manual outlines the periodic maintenance service required, under the Maintenance 1 and Maintenance 2 guidelines. Routine fuel filter replacement does not appear on either of these schedules.
In the future, due to the increased regulation of evaporative emissions, fuel systems utilizing a non-serviceable filter will become more common as new models are introduced.
Doesn't apply to me but I thought others would be interested.

I think this blows A##. My '03 car has this FFS fuel system. Ive already had to tear my tank out to replace fuel pump assy , just because my in-tank fuel filter got plugged (watch you race fuel
) Not having a "serviceable" fuel filter in my opinion sucks.

Have you looked into it?
